Podcasts

[Rhythm Thief]

Can anyone recommend any good ones? I'm already subscribed to Three from Leith, Adam and Joe, Radio 4 Friday Night Comedy and, er, another one which escapes my memory. Anyone else got any favourites?

The Bike Show on Resonance FM is really good, imo.
Stephen Fry's Podgrams?
Nigel Warburton's Philosophy ones can be interesting
The Fredcast is pretty good, as is the Spokesmen Cycling Roundtable - Carlton Reid and Tim Grahl from the latter also do the Bike to Work Book podcast.

There's a decent list here too, (of cycling ones) on Bikeforall.net

Otherwise, my N82's podcast list looks like the Radio 4 downloads page , if you discount the various <your language here> for beginners episodes...

 

[Greedo]

The Karl Pilkington ones with Ricky Gervais are really good!

 

[Kirstie]

Nigel Warburton's Philosophy ones can be interesting
...

LOL! I work with him!! He's a top bloke, and completely and utterly disorganized. Looks more like a businessman than a philosopher...


...bloody hell I just remembered he was supposed to be interviewing me for his podcast...we never got around to arranging it. My memory is terrible these days...

Must check him out...

Well, I find his programmes very enjoyable - I keep meaning to (and will, at some point) pick up his "Philosphy: The Classics" book, as I've enjoyed the podcasts a great deal.

 

[Chuffy]

I have never cast a pod. It's right up there with owning a mobile.

We had a conference earlier this year and he organized a wicked art exhibition for it...

The ones that might interest me I know there are some interesting university ones out there such as ones from Stanford e.g. Quantum Entanglement.

Main one I subscribe to is Little Atoms, Podcast of UK Skeptics

Also get SGU Skeptics 5x5, The Skeptics Guide, The Guardian's Science Weekly, and occasionally the Royal Society 'cast.

Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode film reviews.

Oh yeah, I forgot this one. Kermode is very good indeed.

 

[John the Monkey]

Oh yeah, I forgot this one. Kermode is very good indeed.

+1, although he's wrong about "Mama Mia". DON'T watch it. NOT EVER.

Incidentally, cheers whoever mentioned the Adam and Joe 6 music one, I've not laughed that much in a while.

WAAAY ahead of you there! I'd rather eat my own feet than watch that.
